Chris Stapleton in Atlanta

About Chris Stapleton

His shows are quiet affairs where thousands of people seem to forget how to talk. He plays with a backing band but the focus never leaves his voice. The crowd hangs on every word like he might not come back for an encore. No banter, no showmanship—just a man and his guitar for two hours straight.

Known for Tennessee Whiskey, Traveller, Nobody, From A Room: Volume 1, Starting Over Again

Chris Stapleton + Atlanta

Chris Stapleton played Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Atlanta on August 26, 2023, running through 23 songs that touched every corner of his catalog. He opened with White Horse and got into the deep stuff early -- Might as Well Get Stoned and What Are You Listening To? both made the cut. Mountains of My Mind and Whiskey and You added some introspective weight to the middle. The Free Bird / Devil Named Music medley was a mid-set curveball, and the encore closed with Outlaw State of Mind after the usual Tennessee Whiskey. Arkansas got its moment too.

Live Music in Atlanta

Atlanta's country scene has matured beyond its mainstream radio days. The city hosts serious country and Americana acts at venues like the Tabernacle and Terminal West, drawing musicians and fans who want substance over spectacle. There's real respect here for artists who commit to their craft rather than chase trends, which is exactly Stapleton's lane.

Atlanta road trip to see Chris Stapleton?

Stay in Buckhead or Virginia Highland for the neighborhood feel — tree-lined streets, good restaurants, walkable enough to actually enjoy yourself. For dinner, Sotto Sotto does excellent Italian in a no-fuss basement setting, or Rathbun's for steak if you want something more formal. Spend an afternoon at the High Museum of Art, then grab drinks at The Eagle, which has the kind of dark-wood-and-whiskey vibe that actually works. Catch a Braves game at Truist Park if timing lines up. The food scene here is legitimately good without being try-hard about it.
